Ingredients

4 (5 ounce) fillets tilapia
½ cup tequila
1 medium lime, juiced
2 teaspoons canola oil
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
½ (8 ounce) container light sour cream
1 tablespoon chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, or more to taste
¾ (5.8 ounce) package hard taco shells
½ head iceberg lettuce, chopped
2 medium roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped
1 medium avocado, chopped

Steps:

Place tilapia in a non-reactive container with tequila and lime juice. Marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.
Heat canola oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add tilapia with tequila and lime juice. As the liquid comes to a simmer, break the tilapia up with a spatula until flaky and cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in cilantro.
Combine sour cream and chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce; stir until well combined.
Divide fish between the 8 taco shells. Top with lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, and sour cream mixture.
